Learning Photoshop
Since I’m kinda lacking of entries to post, thought I’ll post some photos instead. I bought this book called ‘The Photoshop CS2 Book for Digital Photographers’ by Scott Kelby (editor of Photoshop User magazine) about two weeks ago, and I’ve been having lots of fun trying out the tips and tricks in the book on our Melbourne photos.
So here are three photos that I’ve played around with for your viewing pleasure…=)

Haha…well, not my original intention to make him look younger, just testing out my touch-up skills…but that’s a nice plus! =)

neotrax: Thanks! Currently, I’m using two books by Scott Kelby…one is called Photoshop CS Down & Dirty Tricks (more for web designing), and the other is The Photoshop CS2 Book for Digital Photographers which I find extremely useful for learning how to touch up photos. Found both at MPH, about RM120 each if I remember correctly. The thing I like about this book is that you can jump into any chapter and learn up whatever skill you require. Of course, it’s better if you understand why you are doing certain things, but if you’re like me, too lazy to learn…hehe…then this book is a godsend! =)
